6 Travel Plan

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

As the saying goes, "Rome wasn't built in a day".

But one gets fat from one meal.

It was actually really simple to deal with the Lin Family's current plight. Money could do the job.

But in reality, it was always easier to lose hair than to come out of poverty. It was easier to get fat than to get rich. About 90% of all the problems in the world could be solved with money, and the remaining 10% could be solved with a lot, a lot, of money.

Lin Xiaowei said that she already gave Li Yao a 'cheat code'.

Yeah.

The problem was.. Li Yao did not have money.

So Li Yao was thinking hard about how to earn money. It would be best if it was quick money. Thinking about it, he needed to get it in one week.

This week, he watched a lot of drama shows and drank a lot of cola. Burgers and snacks were still very tasty. For some reason, Li Yao always felt like his appetite had grown. Coincidentally, Lin Xiaowei had been out on a mission lately. To maintain her current state, she did not go online.

So Li Yao let loose. He even slacked about thinking deeply and analyzing the circuits.

On this very day, he slumped over the couch and watched television as he read web novels.

Suddenly, he sat up from the couch, and his eyes lit up. "Amazing!"

He was reading a novel. In the story, the main character signed a contract with a cat with superpowers. Hence, the character gained superpowers as well, which was to pause time for a short while. Whenever the character was in need of money, he would use this superpower and visit a casino in Macao. Then, he would win large amounts of money every time. The roulette was explained in a more detailed manner.

Although he still had no power to 'pause time' and this was pretty much the kind of power of a BUG, his 'magical creator' could control the system too!

How heavy could the ivory ball in roulette weigh?

He could play all he wanted!

Li Yao got increasingly excited by the thought of it. He jumped from the couch and walked around the living room. "Go to Macau! Now is the time to get out of poverty!"

Firstly, he had to inform his parents and apply for a valid exit-entry permit for traveling to and from Hong Kong and Macau (EEP)..

As for capital, he had been working hard and also providing private tutoring in the past two years. He had some messy income, and they accumulated to about 10,000. It was enough for him to go to Macau. As long as everything went well there, even if he only had a few hundred left with him, he could still bring about a change of his fortunes.

Li Yao had been like a dead fish for a week. He was very determined to take action, so he phoned his parents immediately. "Mom, Dad, I'm going to Macau!"

Li Jianguo and Zhang Yufeng were startled for a moment.

Is our child crazy?

But they remembered that college students had too much to spend during their summer vacations, and although Macao was a special administrative region, it was still in China. The security and order were okay, and there was no reason to stop him. So they replied. "If you have the money, then go ahead. Anyway, we don't have money at home."

Negative feelings from Li Yao +555...

It's fine. Others tend to dig money from their fathers, but our family is special. They dig money from their son.

It had been like this for years, and Li Yao was used to it.

Li Yao was very independent. Otherwise, how could he earn 10,000 in a semester?

In the past, he only felt like his parents were doing their job when he was sick.

Now that he had recovered, he loved money.

Then, he thought about the three beasts in his hostel that ate over 1000RMB worth of food.

Damn, what a heartache.

Li Yao touched his chest and had to bear with the pain from his heart. He went to the local administrative hall to apply for an EEP.

Need to earn money! Must earn money!

The efficiency of the local administrative hall was not low. Not only did Li Yao get his EEP done, but he also settled his passport.

After submitting all the documents, he still had to wait for a week before he could get the passport and travel pass.

This way, there was only one-third of his seven-week vacation left.

Li Yao felt a strange sense of time anxiety.

Then, he continued to slump into his couch and drink cola while eating all sorts of snacks. His days were really beautiful, very beautiful.

Anyway, it was all the money that he earned. His parents could not do anything about it.

Ha! Interesting!

Li Yao, at this moment, felt the happiness that his own financial stability had brought for him.

The consequences were that after a busy day, Mom and Dad saw Li Yao slouching on the sofa when they got home, and they were annoyed. "Look at what you are doing! Lazing at home all day long. Everyone at home is mad exhausted, and there are no warm meals at home. What's the use of raising you up! Huh? "

As his mother spoke, she put on her apron and went into the kitchen. She chided Li Yao as she made food and, at the same time, chided his father.

His mother's nags filled up the entire house.

Li Yao looked straight and made eye contact with his father.

His father had a kind and giving look. He smiled lightly as if saying, "No big deal, you're still young…"

Then, he rested his leg on the tea table and took out a heated cup filled with wolfberries boiled in water. He took out some newspapers and was ready to enter the lazing state.

His mother: "Old Li! Are you dead! Help me chop the garlic!"

"Alright!"

His father got up quickly and went into the kitchen.

Li Yao could guarantee that even if any unit leader was calling for his father, he would not be this quick and clear.

Ha.

Li Yao scoffed.

What the h*ll did I do wrong! Why do I have to be here feeling single!!!

I can't stay in this house any longer!

A week later, Li Yao got his travel pass and passport successfully. His luggage was pretty much packed as well. He was just waiting to leave tomorrow.

Just at the moment, Uncle Lin came to visit.

He even brought Lin Xiaoxi along.

This made Mom really elated. "Just in time for a meal. Hold on, let me go prepare the food. Old Lin, take a seat."

His mother turned into the kitchen and prepared a table full of food, making Old Lin feel a little bad.

At the dinner table, his mother specially arranged Lin Xiaoxi to sit next to Li Yao. Li Yao and Lin Xiaoxi looked at each other, and they both interpreted an emotion called helplessness from each other's dead fish eyes. Li Yao also felt more and more that Lin Xiaowei was playing less well with him to prevent this current situation from happening!

On the dining table, his parents were speaking to Old Lin happily, and they totally ignored their children.

This continued until they had enough beer and ate enough; then Uncle Lin suddenly remembered something. He slapped his head. "Old Li, don't give me so much beer! It'll be too much if we continue. I'm here to find Yao today."

His father was not willing to give in. "Old Lin, don't kid me. What can this even amount to!"

His father's face was flushing with excitement. He looked like a general.

His mother was providing strong support behind him. "Yeah, Old Lin, don't be shy!"

Then, she kept hinting at his father with her eyes.

Li Yao was confused from looking at it.

What's going on right now?

Do you guys have some sneaky plan to get Uncle Lin drunk?

His beloved daughter is still watching!

…Hold up!

Daughter?!

Li Yao suddenly understood something. It couldn't be that his parents were trying to get Uncle Lin drunk and then make them arrange some kind of marriage, could it?

Look at their sneaky looks. It must be so!

He could not let these two babies continue acting like that.

Li Yao stood up, breaking down his parents' 'attacks'. He asked, "Uncle Lin, why are you looking for me?"
